Where your sparkliest dreams come true

This Friday and Saturday we have the last of our Holiday Extravaganzas projects scheduled. If you haven't been in yet, button wreath ornaments are on the menu and they are adorable hanging on the tree or as a package topper! Go crazy and use them for napkin rings!

Looking ahead: we'll continue with drop-in times during Winter Break, 2 - 6 pm every day. You can make a snowflake or a memory wire bracelet ($5 per item).

Third Friday (tomorrow) Workshop

Tomorrow night, for the Oak Park Arts District's Third Friday Gallery Walk, is a Caterpillar Bracelet workshop. This is one of our favorite bracelets to make. It's stylish, sparkly, earthy- whatever you want it to be. Plus it whips up pretty quickly which makes it perfect for gift giving now that the clock is ticking for all you elves! 6 - 8 pm, $10 (materials are extra) -- gifts for everyone.

Holiday Extravaganzas

Spend time with friends and family at Bead in Hand. We'll be hosting our $5 drop-in holiday-themed projects every Friday and Saturday until Christmas. The drop in begins at 2 pm and ends at closing time. Visit our website, to see the whole schedule and the projects for each weekend.

Don't have time to stay? Grab a package of snowflake forms and pre-packaged kits to do at home.

SUPER EASY SNOWFLAKES!

Kate & Laurel discovered that one strand of the 4mm Chinese crystal bicones is enough to complete one small (4 1/2") snowflake, with a little left over. Get six strands and you'll have enough for an entire package of 7 snowflakes. Sparkly window decorations or adorable package toppers!
